Seattle and King County are taking steps to limit the reach of federal immigration agents, including blocking them from operating on city- and county-owned property. The laws were passed by the Seattle City Council in March, which includes a measure banning "civil immigration enforcement staging" on city parks, plazas, offices, and public housing. The city is setting up signs in more than 600 areas across the country. A new measure prevents city employees from sharing private information to assist with civil immigration enforcement, and clarifies that Seattle police cannot inquire about someone's immigration status. The move reflects local officials' frustration over the Trump administration's mass deportation policy.
